WWE Raw Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from August 3

The road to SummerSlam stretched on Monday night, with several top Superstars giving inspired performances on a broadcast dedicated to the late, great "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

Seth Rollins kicked off the night's broadcast with a quality promo on the injury he dealt to John Cena last week, a new T-shirt commemorating the broken nose and a great match against Neville in a WWE World Heavyweight Championship Open Challenge match.

The fact that he also challenged the United States champion Cena to a title vs. title match at SummerSlam ensured that he would partake in one of the pay-per-view's biggest, most important marquee matches.

Speaking of Neville, he turned in another phenomenal showing against an elite performer, providing him with considerable momentum ahead of what is likely to be a high-profile match at the summertime spectacular involving Stardust and, presumably, Arrow star Stephen Amell.

Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton scored a big victory in a six-man tag team match against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Sheamus, the Divas Revolution raged on with Team Paige scoring two huge victories and Rusev knocked off Mark Henry in impressive fashion.

WWE Creative did a fine job of putting the focus on building toward SummerSlam, with nearly every segment having something to do with a rivalry or match that will play out inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Which Superstars and Divas walked away winners, and which, unfortunately, were the biggest losers of the night? 

Let's take a look.

Winner: The Miz

Major props to the former WWE champion, who momentarily broke character to pay tribute to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, the godfather of wrestling talk show segments and the inspiration behind his Miz TV segment. It was nice to see someone so regularly portrayed as an unlikable tool take a moment to prove that, yes, he is a real man with great respect and admiration for those who came before him.

It was a great moment from one of the company's most underappreciated villains in what was an otherwise mediocre segment of television, to say the least.

Loser: Sheamus

The Celtic Warrior continues to suffer from the same lackluster booking that most Money in the Bank winners have in the past.

Though he competed in the main event of Monday's show, he was again pinned, this time by Roman Reigns.

It is one thing to give someone the briefcase with the expectation that they will be the WWE World Heavyweight champion in the near future. At some point, though, fans need to buy into someone as a legitimate threat to cash in and win the title.

Consistently watching Sheamus lose week after week will only hurt his credibility in the eyes of the fans and doom his eventual title reign from the get-go.

Winners: Team Paige

Charlotte and Becky Lynch scored a big tag team victory over Team Bella early in Monday's broadcast, as WWE Creative continues to push Charlotte as the next great challenger to Nikki's Divas Championship.

Of all three of the Divas to be called up recently, the daughter of "Nature Boy" Ric Flair has been the least impressive, but her pedigree, along with the reaction she gets from the fans because of said connection, has been enough to convince management to push her to the moon.

Later in the night, Paige continued her team's winning ways, forcing Naomi to tap out to the PTO.

Considering that Paige was the guest on the Stone Cold Podcast after Raw, it should be no surprise that she went over. What was a surprise was that her team was so dominant at a time when all three trios should be built up to maximize excitement and anticipation leading into SummerSlam.

Still, it was a banner night for Team Paige, who has seized momentum in the rivalry at this point.

Losers: The WWE Tag Team Division

Monday night's eight-man tag team match pitting the Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores against The New Day and The Ascension was proof that WWE's tag team division is hardly booming heading into SummerSlam.

Yes, all four teams, as well as tag team champions The Prime Time Players, continue to earn television time, but the fact that fans do not really care about the majority of the tandems—and that WWE Creative has neutered The New Day over the last two months—overpowers any attempt by management to feature them on television.

There has not been enough character development to get the audience to invest itself in anything teams like Los Matadores and The Ascension do, especially since those two teams have spent the last year serving as whipping posts for their peers.

With a multiteam match on the horizon, WWE Creative must make the fans care about those duos involved or the contest will pale in comparison to what it could have otherwise been.

Winner: Seth Rollins

The WWE World Heavyweight champion looked as good as he has since winning the title back at WrestleMania, thanks in large part to the absence of The Authority, J&J Security and Kane backing him up.

Left to cut a promo on John Cena by himself, thus setting up a huge match between the two of them at SummerSlam, Rollins hit the proverbial ball out of the park. He was strong, convincing and arrogant, the perfect heel.

His new T-shirt was brilliant, straight out of Greg Valentine's "I Broke Wahoo's Leg" playbook, and building the entire promo around the inadvertent broken nose suffered by Cena helped the overall quality of the opening segment.

Factor in a stellar performance against Neville, and you have a phenomenal night for Rollins that WWE Creative never allowed to diminish.
